General Chemistry

General Chemistry<i>Linus Pauling</i><span>0 </span>/ <span>0</span> 0 comments <i></i><i></i>When it was first published, this first-year chemistry text revolutionized the teaching of chemistry by presenting it in terms of unifying principles instead of as a body of unrelated facts. Those principles included modern theories of atomic and molecular structure, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. In addition, Dr. Pauling attempted to correlate the theories with descriptive chemistry, the observed properties of substances, to introduce the student to the multitude of chemical substances and their properties.<br>In this extensively revised and updated third edition, the Nobel Prize–winning author maintains an excellent balance between theoretical and descriptive material, although the amount of descriptive chemistry has been decreased somewhat, and the presentation of the subject, especially in relation to the nonmetals, has been revised in such a way as to permit greater correlation with the electronic structure of atoms, especially electronegativity.<br> <br>Aimed at first-year college students who plan to major in chemistry or closely related fields, the book is written in a logical, clear and understandable style. In addition, many excellent figures are included, along with numerous problems and 75 pages of appendixes covering such topics as symmetry of molecules and crystals, hybrid bond orbitals, and magnetic properties of substances.Year:1988Edition:3rd EditionPublisher:Dover PublicationsLanguage:EnglishPages:<span>959</span>ISBN 10:0486656225ISBN 13:9780486656229File:EPUB, 45.94 MB<span></span> Download (epub, 45.94 MB) Send-to-Kindle or Email <span></span></br></br></br>
